Taco Soup

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!!!!!!!! I had the pleasure of smelling this cook all day, and to finally reap the benefits by eating it this evening, was divine!!!! This soup tasted as good as it sounds! It was just the right amount of spicy, hearty and delicious!!!! My daughter, per her usual, picked out all the beans and ate pretty much those only! At least she got some protein! She did tell me how yummy it was! Made me happy! My husband also really liked it! When I told him I didn't miss this beef in this he said "It's not beaf?!" I then told him it was ground turkey. LOL He didn't even notice the difference! (good sign, right?!)

Best of all, I have plenty of leftovers....probably for another day or two! I think I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow!

On a side note: Be careful when you clean your Slow Cooker. My 7 Quart insert cracked all the way around last week :( I was so sad! Of course, I went and bought another one, but make sure you cool it completely before washing. Just a word to the wise! :)

I recently discovered Taco Soup recipe on the internet this summer(before I found your site) and my family/kids are crazy for it! They love regular tacos, but are not big bean eaters so I let them pick around the beans. My recipe is basically the same version as yours minus the cumin, garlic powder and beef bullion cube. The ranch dressing mix really gives it a great taste! I like it a little more watery rather than like a chili. The kids like to eat theirs with tortilla chips crushed on top or used like a 'scoop'! This is a very easy recipe that can't be cooked incorrectly! Yummy!!

Michelle: I use all canned beans. I don't rinse any of them - except for the kidney beans because I don't like all that 'goopy' stuff in there. So, the answer you are looking for is NO. No need to soak beans -- of course only if they are canned :) Good luck.
